well ive been gone for a good while. im not even sure how long. dont know who remembers me. but thought i'd join in on the rest of this month's thread, if no one minds. and hello to all. my personal goal is 250 minutes.
Well, I have not posted since my post here on Monday but I have been working out! I did skip my weight traning this week - Tuesday, depression; Thursday I woke up with a BAD shoulder and there was no way I was going to put myself through weight training. So, I stretched a lot and did my bike instead.
My totals:
WED - 60 bike
THURSDAY - 35 bike
SAT - 70 bike
SAT - 90 dance class
That's 225 minutes that I have not posted yet.
Group Total = 5847 + 225 = 6072
Tomorrow morning I am biking in the morning, then I'm going hiking in the afternoon. I'm thrilled.
Today my husband and me took my son to the Mall and walked our feet off! We walked 120 minutes at a slow pace...besides doing some shopping. My feet are sore because I wore sandals.
So our new total is:Group Total = 6072 + 120 = 6192!!!!
Did the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life starting around 2 something this morning. According to my pedometer, I had 101 minutes of aerobic activity (at least 10 min at a time) -- though 84 minutes of that was continuous!
We are cruising! And welcome back extrinsic rapture!
Did 15 minutes on Friday (cardio). Today, I did 10 mins of the buns & thighs workout...I was DRENCHED...lol. Then, I did 10 minutes of the arms & shoulders. You wouldn't think 20 minutes would be THAT hard...but the dvd I've got really kicks your butt! hehe. If it's not raining, I'd like to go walking later, but we'll just have to see how the weather is when the time comes. I've started to do facial exercises, too...while I'm watching TV or sitting here at the computer, so that maybe it'll help the double chin go down quicker. Not going to count those minutes, cuz that's not strenuous...hehe.
Well, the weather isn't too pleasant today, and I'm not keen on walking in the rain, so I don't think I'll be walking to and from school, or walking laps with the kids. So I can probably post my mins for today already, as that could be it for the day. I'm resting from afternoon exercising, (as per doctor's orders) except for the walk home from work.
Sunday - 60 min walk with hubby. Poor guy! I truly didn't plan on walking that fast, but I am just so used to it now that I don't realise when I am speeding up. He fell behind after a while and said he couldn't keep up the pace, so I slowed down. Near the end he seemed to be limping a little and said his hip was sore. Seeing as we had pretty much finished an hour already, we just 'strolled' for the last 5 or 10 mins. I felt SO bad. I obviously pushed him too much, but I didn't mean to.
Monday - 30 mins on treadmill (13 mins walking at 4.8mph and 17 mins jogging at between 5.4mph and 6.3mph)
Personal Goal... 930 - 90 = 840 mins left of May's goal of 1800
Group Total... 6433 + 90 = 6523
The weekend is looking pretty good so far, as far as movin' and groovin' goes.
Well, I did 56 minutes on the bike today. Was going to go hiking but my knee was sore from dance class yesterday and thought better not to push myself.
Group Total: 6523 + 56 = 6579
If I am to make my goal: 1440 minutes of cardio, I need to do 360 minutes per week. As we are finishing the second week in May, I should have done 720 minutes already. At 726 minutes done so far, I'm right on target. Gotta love budgeting minutes! ROFL
My weight training, on the other hand, is suffering. I should have done 120 minutes and so far I've done only 60. My goal for the next two weeks is to do 3 sessions per week instead of two, so that I can catch up. Wish me luck!
Evening Ladies...Well for Mother's Day we went to the pool! YEAH!! All though I was there 2 1/2 hours..playing with my kids and chasing my 5 yr old nephew around..I am only counting the time my hubby took my nephew to the little kids pool and I did 15 min of laps in the pool and 15 cardio workout. I LOVE THE POOL!! Kepps ya cool and I have such a range of motion.
My total 235 + 30 = 265
Group Total 6599 + 30 = 6629
No excerise for me to tell of today. I did walk while shopping, but am not going to count it as I didn't keep track. Its just been an upsetting day for me.
I felt bad about not walking to and from school, so I did 20 mins of aerobics with the kids this morning for Daily Fitness. We had a ball!!! I put on some 60s songs and we were just "movin' and groovin'" to our hearts' content. I even got the suggestion that we do this every time it rains. My poor student teacher is sure I am trying to kill her I think. One of our deputy principals came to join us for a little while, but we were a little too 'active' for her.
I won't be exercising tomorrow because I had a little bit of surgery on my back today and have 8 stitches (details in main thread), and it shouldn't be 'jiggled' for a couple of days.
Personal Goal... 840 - 20 = 860 mins left of May's goal of 1800
Group Total... 6629 + 20 = 6649
I should be adding some more minutes in a couple of days.
hehe. If it's not raining, I'd like to go walking later, but we'll just have to see how the weather is when the time comes. I've started to do facial exercises, too...while I'm watching TV or sitting here at the computer, so that maybe it'll help the double chin go down quicker.
